I know I'm gonna catch some shit for this but, what is with Japanese people and croaking of cancer before hitting even their 60 or 70? Seriously, poor guy wasn't even really old. Man, this really sucks. By the way, in a more lighthearted trivia about the guy: he and Scott McNeill have shared voices for at least two characters, namely Dinobot and Ali Al Saachez (Gundam 00).

Transformers Prime Megatron was awesome. His punchlines were on point and he was great in place of Frank welker. "Rust in Peace".
